NOPE. it is called POLITICS. lincoln, like "wee willie klintoon", would SAY and/or DO anything to GET elected & GET AHEAD.

regardless of the "lincoln myth", lincoln was no better/worse than clinton as POTUS. he was simply a cheap, scheming politician. (NOTE: getting killed does NOT make you a saint. lincoln & jfk were BOTH UNworthy of the "secular sainthood" which the media placed upon their memory.)

NOTHING that would advance their WISHES, power and/or EGOMANIA was "out of bounds". NEITHER would tolerate disagreement with their demands. NEITHER tolerated criticism well (lincoln, for example, JAILED many newspapermen in a dungeon at Ft McHenry for publishing critical comments about him, without even the pretense of an indictment, warrant or trial. they were simply JAILED!)

the FACTS are that those two were the WORST presidents ever.

I’m a huge Lincoln fan, like most real Americans. That’s why he has that huge Memorial on the bank of the Potomac.

My favorite part of the Civil War was the Emancipation Proclamation. It caused absolute havoc in the Confederacy. Tens of thousands of blacks left southern farms and plantations and headed for Union Army lines. By the end of the war the North had 180,000 additional black troops who were armed and trained to go kill their former owners.

I understand your anguish. I provided a quote from Lincoln -- consistent with his later actions -- that proved your LOUD assertion to be as wrong as can be.

And so of course you loudly whine and, well... you lie about it.

But rational people know the difference between your lying, and what Lincoln actually said.

I'm sick of you.
